August 5th - John 4:16

Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

The core of this song is a simple and beautiful ballad. Someone living with the torments of the world finding consolation in the memory and love of someone who is not there. "I know you're thinking of me 'cause it's just about to rain" is an entirely perfect line and strongly evokes the feeling of inner comfort when the world is only bearable because beauty and love exist somewhere.

Because this is John, the main character is a prisoner in a gladiatorial arena of some kind, but that's the lavish and beautiful dressing to the core, which is the love at the centre.

If you've felt this, you know this. If you haven't felt this. Well, I hope you do.
